NCT ID NCT06358950

Completed Disease control Sponsor: Alkermes, Inc. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested an experimental medication called ALKS 2680 for people with narcolepsy type 1, a sleep disorder that causes severe daytime sleepiness and sudden muscle weakness (cataplexy). Researchers compared the drug against a placebo in 92 participants over 6 weeks to see if it improved wakefulness and reduced cataplexy episodes. Participants had to stop their regular narcolepsy medications during the study to measure the new drug's effects clearly.
